Are Cross Stitch And Embroidery the Same Thing?

They are similar but not exactly the same. Embroidery refers to all handcrafts that use needles and thread. Both are considered painting with thread and can be used to decorate linens, clothing and other materials, or to create decor. When most people use the term embroidery, they are referring to hand embroidery. Cross stitching is just one variation of embroidery.

What distinguishes cross stitch from embroidery is that you always use the same x-shaped stitch in cross stitch.

Cross stitch is viewed as easier, so it's the perfect choice for beginner needlecrafters.
